UK loses 50% of its Tactical UAV force

Well ok, the headlines a bit over the top considering we only have two, but according to the following report the RAF have lost one of their two Reaper UAV's which were only recently deployed in Afghanistan.

Got to love the last line, "Britain's only other tactical UAV, the Phoenix, was pensioned off last month."

Better watch out or the MoD will be pulled up for breaching the troops' human rights again.
